SEATTLE--(Business Wire)--
Seattle`s bad hair days are a thing of the past. Swink Style Bar, Seattle`s
first "blow dry bar" opens today at 611 Stewart Street downtown. No muss, no
fuss, no cuts, no color, Swink specializes in 30-minute blow-outs for $30 and
offers a menu of styles to choose from. 

Blow dry salons are already popular in London, New York and Vancouver B.C. With
the wet weather and active lifestyles, co-owners Natalie Angelillo and Jacquie
Byrne believe Seattle is poised for Swink. "We`re busy moms who envisioned a
place to drop in after the gym or on the way to a meeting, sit for 30 minutes,
and walk out looking fabulous," said Angelillo. 

Swink`s menu offers eight styles -- from The Fifth Avenue - flat-ironed, clean
lines to the Girly & Tousled - an artfully messy coif. Swink also offers a
makeup bar and lash lounge. Clients choose from a variety of makeup looks; then
an artist transforms them to reflect the confidence of the Boardroom or a lively
glow for opening night. Clients walk away with their own set of tips and tricks
taught by the experts. 

Both Angelillo and Byrne are seasoned business professionals, each having served
as CEOs, marketing consultants and retail specialists for companies such as
Starbucks, Nordstrom, Getty Images and various startups. They teamed with expert
stylists Melanie Wade and Randy Evans and renowned, local make up artist Suresh
Seneviratne, to create the looks and train Swink`s staff.

New security restrictions could hurt airlines

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Tighter security measures at U.S. airports following an attempt to blow up a Detroit-bound jet could dampen enthusiasm for air travel, hurting the airline industry just as it seemed poised to recover from a period of bruising losses, some industry experts say.
